SF Coffee Festival 2026: the roasters, and what they roast

Nov 7–8, 2026 · Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, CA

35 roasters are pouring at Fort Mason Center on Nov 7–8. This page lists each of them with what they roast, where their café is and what a bag costs, so you can plan which tables to visit and remember what you tasted.

Published by Arosti, a free iPhone app that learns your taste from the coffees you rate. Exhibitor list as published by the organizer, last checked October 16, 2026; exhibitors can change.

How to taste twenty coffees and remember the ones you loved

Before you go

Install Arosti and name a coffee you already love. Rate whatever you drink this week. Each rating sharpens what the app predicts for you on the day, and about five is where predictions firm up. Create an account so the ratings you make at the festival are kept if you change phones.

At the festival

Scan the bag if you can, so your journal keeps a picture of it, or search the roaster and tap the coffee. Either way, slide the rating while the cup is in your hand. Scanning needs a connection and the hall can be slow; search and rating work offline.

After

Your journal holds every coffee you rated, where you tried it and what you paid. The ones you loved carry a buy link to the roaster. The ones you did not love are worth keeping too: a dislike is what gives your profile its edges.

The roasters

Alphabetical. Every coffee each roaster lists publicly is here with the roaster's own tasting notes, drawn from their product pages, along with their hometown, the roast range of the line, their own café where they have one, and the lowest list price per pound with the month it was read. Which of these they pour on the day is theirs to decide, and we are as curious as you are.

Questions

When is the SF Coffee Festival 2026?
November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026, at Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, 2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123.
How do the sessions and tickets work?
The organizer sells timed sessions across both days, with early-admission and all-day passes. Current times and prices are on the organizer's site.
Are tastings included?
The organizer describes the weekend as tastings, live entertainment and community.
Which roasters are pouring?
The list above names every roaster on the organizer's exhibitor list as of October 16, 2026, each described from their own product pages. Organizers note that exhibitors can change.
Do I need the app to use this page?
No. These guides stand on their own. The app adds a record of what you tasted and how well each coffee fits your taste, which is the part that helps after the weekend.
Should I scan bags at the festival?
It is worth trying: a scan puts a picture of the bag in your journal. Scanning needs a connection, and cell service in a crowded hall can be poor, so if a scan stalls, search for the coffee by roaster instead. Search and rating work offline once the app is installed.
